Love your video! You explained everything so well and thst makes it so easy to understand! It really helped me understand how those parts of sprinkler system work.

Thanks. Seven years ago when my house was built the installer did not remove the wire bridge at the Rain Sensor connector, he just connected the wires now I know why the sensor never worked. Thanks again for solving a "Cold Case".

Well I have to say Thank you so much! Everyone told me it’s easy but would never explain it. Thank you for explaining it and showing it. I feel like I can handle this now.

I landed here only trying to verify that there was or wasn't a polarity on the solenoid wiring and found myself watching the whole video simply because it was done so well. This gentleman is very well spoken and a great instructor. Great camera work as well. Thank you for the video.

Very informative and enlightening!You've given me the confidence to attempt repairing one of the zones on my controller that keeps shorting out the system.Thanks so much for your excellent video! Cheers!

I've wanted to know how to do this for years! Thank you!

Thank You so very much Mike Briley from Access Irrigation!!

Iam so glad I found this video, very clear instructions. Iam confident now that I can wire my system myself.

Well spoken and well presented. Thank you, it was a great help.

Thanks so much. This is one of the best instructional videos I've seen... No Frills. My Sprinkler has been out for a few weeks now and was about to call for an "EXPERT". Wonder how much YOU saved me... Thanks!

Thanks for the how to, as usual the included instructions with my controller made no sense to me, you made the job very easy, cheers!

This's exactly what I needed.

Helpful information, thank you for sharing !!

Great summary. Sent you a mail to hopefully supply the parts I need.

Fantastic video, exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Great video!

Super helpful. Thanks

If the valve manufacturer makes both latching and AC controllers then it may be possible. For example Bermad make both types of valve, so it may be possible to just change the solenoid actuator (the bit with the wires) on the top of the valve assembly.

Great info. The sprinklers stopped working one day so after looking at this video I figured out that whoever installed it miswired the control panel. The common was where one of the rain sensor wires should have been and the rain sensor wire was in the common. Switched them and now it works fine. The question is how was it working for several years wired incorrectly?

Well I guess you'll have a 1 line system for today. LoL And yellow came off ☺️ Overall great presentation and lots of saving for homeowner now

haha, yes, he mentioned solenoid nmbr 2 will be green but he connected yellow wire to it, but finally yellow was connected at the panel. Nevertheless, its place was designated for green, yellow did not want to stay.

Hello, Great job with the presentations! You are very helpful!!! I have a question… Where can I find those little water proof connectors? Thanks!

Mike, if I have a second manifold twenty feet away from the first manifold, am I still connecting the second manifold solenoids to the first set by daisy-chaining the solenoids with the common wire? In other words, my setup would be: Common wire from controller to manifold1/solenoid1_common wire_manifold1/solenoid2_common wire (20+ feet long)_manifold2/solenoid1_common wire_manifold2/solenoid2.

good information . hello from SMS-TORK Control Valves from Turkey

very instructional video.

I like those manifold tees that you used for the valves. Can you tell me who makes them?

Thank you, very clear video. I have a question: if I have 4 solenoid valves will i need to use a waterproof connector with 5 wire inputs? I cant seem to find any, do they exist ?

Nice, thank you.

The Green wire magically changes to yellow.

Well presented, could you please explain us the role of line named REM and SEN that are in WX8 of controller box? Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video, i will now try to repair my system. Sidenote: you used red and green as triggers, then to power you used red and yellow. Im surprised noone noticed it and made smartass comments

Very helpful.

Thank you soo much

I have a valve you have to bleed manually to get the zone going now I haven’t used the timer yet but I doubt it will work any suggestions

Thank You!

Can we change the two red wires of the solenoid, since what I have is that it is cited off just from the body of the solenoid?

With mains operated controllers, the output to the solenoid valves is 24v for safety.

On the valve we're it showed off and on do I leave it on the off position or on the "on" position

you are prince .......thank you

Rain bird sprinklers irrigation. thank you very much

Funny at marker 5:54 he said "if you remember, we used the colors red, yellow and black cables" Guess he forgot in marker 2:18 it was red,green and black.

I want to connect booster pump via a 24V contractor, any advise?

hi and thank you for sharing. I am new to dripping irrigation and trying to install controller Rain Bird ESP-Me controller. Could you please help to go through all steps, such as how to connect valve to controller and what should be connected to AC Power? Thank tiy

Hello Mike, If I don't have AC Power how to using this system solenoid valve with controller

I think you should have put wires in slot under screw, but it was well explained,

Hello Mike - Can you please help me - How do I connect this Valve with my Arduino Micro Controller? Where do I add the external 24V AC and which one will be used for triggering the control signal from my Ardunio Board ? I need the The Physical connection using a relay

can you do the irrigation wriring on our systems ?

So I setup 1 timer with 2 zones last year works great. Now I add 2nd set in back. Can I use P on the timer as a 2nd ground or I HAVE to tie in my old ground wire. Twist with my new ground and connect to C on the timer Thanks

"Make sure tight" Yellow cable comes out... Haha.. It's all good just came here how to wire the irrigation system...

Hi. Which diameter cable size is recommended to connect the valves to the controller?. 0.5mm is enough?. Or can I use UTP cable where the diameter cable size is small?. Thanks

can we use dc supply for the valve?

Question: I there any way to fix a solinoid, taking it apart? I have old Lawn genie system and one white wire coming out of top of solinoid broke off right at the top. Not enough there to solder, even. Can a new wire be threaded through somehow or do I have to buy a solinoid that hopefully fits my old Lawn Genie? Thank you!

Im trying to use my arduino UNO to send a +5V signal to a mosfet to drive a 24V solenoid. i know that i need a diode across the solenoid to protect it. What i don't know is how to pick the right mosfet. I know that i needs to be logic compatible. My power supply is 24VAC 750mA. the in rush current of the solenoid is 0.35A @ 24 VAC. The holding current is 0.23A @ 24VAC.

Hi , I need a help, I want to power Bona valve , with 24 AC adapter,as you know adapters comes with different amperes(currents),so which kind of AC adapters,should I use?? with 5 amp ,10 amp etc

Can we use dc suppy for the valve??

Thanks for this usefull video!

Nice sir but control circuit sir how do the penal wiring please sir penal board to pump hunter supply solenoid wall

What multi core cable I use if I got 6 trigger ie 6 zone 6 independent solenoids . As in video u have a common and tiger cables common u link all tougher till u have 1 common cable but then i need 6 tigers wires ?

What if you have three valves? How would four cables fit in those 3 -input crimp connectors?

Thank you

Does it work on 24V DC power?

This may be silly question but I have 4 solenoid valves do I twist the 4 'common' wires together and try to fit them into one terminal on the crimp connectors alongside the multi-core 'common' wire? Or perhaps twist two each together and crimp into two ports alongside the multi-core 'common' wire.

As long as the valves are 24v valves from a mains powered system then it is fine to bring all of the common wires together - 9v latching valves are different.

What about a master valve? I have two larger wires from a master valve, it's driving me nuts, that I have to bond one with the common, and a controller wire, and the other master valve wire is bound with another controller wire. There is nothing here about a master valve. I have one master valve and then three valves for three lines. I am having a problem where when I run the 1, 2, 3 lines from the controller, every time it just runs line 1

How will connecting power supply and pump wire

You did not show how to connect the wires to the solenoid. My wires came of of the solenoid and need to be replaced.

Brits are great instructors...they have a command of the King's English. I am an American. Even though we fought against the British to be free and have our own nation, we fought and died together decades later, side by side in WWII , against the "Progressive Globalists" of that time then, the German Nazis.

I am a novice and hope to see How to install a irrigation system from scratch.Please explain how each part works and what is necessary to work a system.Thank you

yellow wire swinging in the "breeze"

Did anyone else notice he got the green and yellow wires mixed up?!

wire colors are wrong. Valve 1 is connected to red. Valve 2 is connected to green for trigger and black for common, however on the controller side you're using black for common, red for valve 1 and yellow for valve 2. In this configuration valve 2 is not going to work. It's probably best to write the color pattern on paper first.

Yellow or green?????🙄☝️
